Kiwi Food Day

We are traveling along New Zealand's west coast taking in the spectacular scenery.

Wednesday was "kiwi food day". Our first stop was at an iconic fruit stand. ($1 US = $1.36 New Zealand).


Next up was a boutique winery.  We sampled 3 wines and nibbles.

Then we drove along Lake Wanaka and found a lovely spot for a picnic of traditional meat pies, L&P soda, and fruit.

Finally,  a real delicacy, white bait.   Yes, we actually ate the tiny fish and they tasted like a fried egg, if you can get past eating the eye.
